RE: Lock Computer?
Do you mean locking it to the login screen? In that case Windows Key + L

Or perhaps a screensaver with a password?

Do u mean boot logging?
If so, then while your computer is starting up keep on pressing F8. After some time a screen will appear with many options. Scroll down to Enable boot logging(using arror keys) and then press enter. Enter a password and save it.

Go to Control panel > User account > home > change the way users log on or off. Unchecked use fast user switching. Apply  options. It will lock the Pc instead of switching users.

RE: Lock Computer?
Control + Alt + Delete = Task Manager. I know on NT and 2000 when you click those three you get an option to lock but where is it on XP?

RE: Lock Computer?
In my school, whenever one presses ctrl + alt + delete, there'll be six options, from locking to bringing up task manager.
While for home users, most of the users' PCs aren't 'modified', thus pressing ctrl + alt + delete will not work.
In most of the PC, the use fast user switching is probably checked, thus, wheenver one click WIN Key + L, it will switch user instead. Unchecked it and it will be showing locked instead of switching user.
